Our Leach

Who am I
Do you know yourself
We tend to want to try
When there’s nothing else

Who is God
Where is he now
The Earth and his rod
For whom do you bow

What is pain
From where does it come
And what becomes of the stain
That can never be undone

Is there mercy
Beyond our reach
The longing to become free
From the bleeding of our inner leach
